Wouldn't you just love to click your orange heels together and be here now?

Clearly they are fond of the color orange, a big favorite in Paris.

Not an Easter egg or poule in the maison is missing an orange ribbon.

Who knew chickens could be so beautiful?

Not too far from Servant you can drop in the Marie Laurencin exhibit at musee Marmottan on until June 30th. Can one doubt that Laurencin, a celebrity portrait painter, fed her sitters chocolates from Servant?

The crowd was quite elegant and looked to have just come from Chocolaterie Servant...well I did.

I tried desperately to save my praline-filled chocolate chicken and little lamb but forget about that! Do visit both Laurencin + Servant chocolates when you're in Paris.

Is this your first Easter in France? When I lived in Paris I loathed the Easter holiday -- it's a work/school vacation all over the continent and the city got jam-packed with tourists from the rest of Europe. I'll be interested to know if it's still like that.

How adorable your sketch is - like an exquisite illustration for an old-fashioned children's story! A gorgeous old-fashioned chocolate shop too ... a chocolate chicken would not have lasted long with me either :)

I don't like to pick favorites even for myself since tastes change daily and Paris has way too many excellent chocolatiers. But do check out Rachel Khoo's post on Paris chocolate. You couldn't go wrong trying all of her choices.http://www.rachelkhoo.com/recipe/ingredient-of-the-month-chocolate

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5 and I'm still at it. Now I live by the Seine on l'Ile Saint-Louis. Do consider subscribing to my Paris letters and maps on Etsy and enjoy a taste of Paris in your mailbox every month to savor with a hot chocolate and croissant. I paint Paris dreams.
